When I have these questions, I try to think about what I would expect from my landlord as a tenant.

This sounds like a mid term rental opportunity.

In 2023 we bought our first single family fixer upper, we bought it cheap with cash in an area about 2 hours from our current home.

Hey Tony,None of those are bad options, honestly if you have paid off investment properties; the best terms are probably going to come straight from a cash out refinance.Line of credit is a good option due to only paying on what you use but if your planning to start construction immediately I would go with the cash out, its going to be less headaches as well.

I looked at past Bigger Pockets posts and found threads mostly from 2023 or older.

Hi, I am Canadian, and I am not a registered agent, but interested in seller finance, so my question is can I talk to sellers directly or I have to do this through an agent that represents me? 

Watch this video for a complete insight on what this means to you as a landlord.

Love to hear from you. 

Our question is, from initial agreement through closing, what costs may we incur outside of management fee and interest that are part of the terms?

Looking forward to connecting, learning, and sharing experiences with all of you!
